Exploring Cellular Automata in Python using Golly

Golly is an open source, multiplatform tool for exploring various cellular automata (such as the game of life) that allows Python scripts to study and interact with the cellular automata. First we will look at very basic operation of the rule by studying the game of life and also inputting a new initial conditions such as gliders, still lifes and spaceships. Then we will switch over to study my cellular automata I created which I call  https://conwaylife.com/wiki/OCA:SnowLife and use Python scripts to analyze my cellular automata.
